ABOUT THE EVENT

Andrea Brown, music director

Dance into the UMD Wind Ensemble’s 2024-25 season! The performance begins with works by Alfred Reed, Dwayne Milburn and Joni Greene that reflect on themes of revelation, memory and the human experience. Herbert Hazelman’s A Short Ballet for Awkward Dancers provides some comedic relief, with movements inspired by those who can’t dance, such as “March for Two Left Feet.” The concert concludes with Philip Sparke’s Dance Movements, a piece bursting with color and life that brings a triumphant ending to this performance.
